This year marks the 41st anniversary of Star Trek beaming into our homes for the first time with an episode entitled the ‘The Man Trap’.
The folks at Thinkgeek feel that to truly mark the occasion [seeing as we overlooked the 40th anniversary] we need something else that traps men just as effectively as the aliens disguised as the fairer sex: the TV remote.
Except, in this case, it’s a really cool Type II phaser. It would be nice to think that you could atomise annoying neighbours now and then but I’ll settle for changing the channels with something that boasts lights and sounds.
You get four power settings – each one louder and flashier than the last – a light control knob and a flip-up sight, for when you’re smashed and there seems to be two or more TVs floating in front of you.
Best of all, you can detach the Type I phaser from the stock to reduce your geek factor [a little] but still keep all those Trekkie lights and sounds.
Yours for £15. Bargain. That’s around £5,000 cheaper than Spock’s spacesuit and a whole lot less trouble than the Star Trek home cinema
